| Protest the Hero – Plato's Tripartite Lyrics

I really appreciate the explanation of wolfblitzer too! Out of the 11 tracks, this one has caught up my attention and that's why I checked song meanings to see what people have posted so far. Anyways, I can hear a Kezia sound return and topics like this and the pitbull makes me wonder if they're returning to the idea of what their name actually means...you know...protesting for things...LOL Great album, as usual, the first times I hear it I don't get much, however, after several times, I get to like it even more!

| The Human Abstract – Faust Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
Since nobody has started a conversation about this song, I just wanted to start by saying that I didn't know what "Faust" was about, so I googled it and this is from wikipedia:
"Faust or Faustus (Latin for "auspicious" or "lucky") is the protagonist of a classic German legend. Though a highly successful scholar, he is dissatisfied, and makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Faust's tale is the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic, and musical works. The meaning of the word and name has been reinterpreted through the ages. Faust, and the adjective Faustian, are often used to describe an arrangement in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success: the proverbial "deal with the devil". The terms can also refer to an unquenchable thirst for knowledge" |
